One Full-size Mattress Still Needed for Beacon House

We received many bed donations, but one set is still incomplete!

We need 1 full-size mattress for a bed that will be donated to Beacon House. We already have the frame and box spring.

Mattress must be gently used- no rips or stains, and must be generally clean. They may also be looking for more beds- feel free to call Beacon House with donation questions (715) 834-4357.

Please let me know if you can help!

Thank You for the Beds!

A big thank you to Marie & Larry Past, Kirk (The King's Closet), Doris Strong, Carol Claesges, and Chippewa Valley Furniture Direct!

Not only did these donors provide enough donations to give our family 2 bunk beds, they also gave extras beds that we were able to donate to The Beacon House :)

Thank you to everyone involved- your donations are now providing a homeless (or recently homeless) student a warm and comfortable place to sleep!
